This Clife is so simple
When Fone is at Chome and I'm never complaining
When there's Dwork to be Gdone
Oh CI'm tired, Joey Boy, of the Fmakings of Fm6men
I would Clike to be Gcheerful aCgain
[Chorus]
AmFbition will take you
And ride you too Cfar, and
Conservatism bring you to Dboredom once Gmore
[Verse 3]
Sit Cdown by the river
And Fwatch the stream Cflow, recall all the dreams
That you Donce used to Gknow
The Cthings you've forgotten
That Ftook you aFm6way
To Cpastures not Ggreener, but Cmeaner
[Verse 4]
Love of the simple is Fall that I Cneed
I've no time for schism or Dlovers of Ggreed
Go Cup to the mountain, go Fup to the Fm6glen
Where Csilence will touch you
And Gheartbreak will Cmend
